  1. Tried it. It does look better but more importantly I'm getting high enough FPS to make me think a 4k monitor might be worthwhile
  2. Odd, no sign of it! Im on latest drivers. GTX 780ti
  3. Dont seem able to find any options for DSR and DCS. Can't increase resolution in game past 1920x1080. Where am I supposed to be looking?
  4. If it really is going to be the F14 i'm more than happy!
  5. Spot on!
  6. It works in Direct to Rift mode? I need to try that! Still running extended
  7. Provided their next module is as good as the Mig21 I'll be happy! Personally I'd like a suitable opponent to the Mig but which one? F4 would be great but as stated it's not gonna happen yet...
  8. Like the inclusion of squelch adjustment
  9. Answered I love them all equally, except thats a little misleading, I love them all except the Dora9 equally. I just can't love it... Now if it were an Anton....
  10. I wonder what would weigh more. Enough alcohol to cool the radar for the whole flight or the pumps and rads to go closed loop... I also wonder why air cooling wasn't used. Air density too low for good heat transfer at altitude?
  11. I use MFG crosswinds too. The accuracy you can achieve with them is amazing!
  12. Bugs and Problems = Issues, surely. Unless you want it renamed?
  13. I suspect a rethink may be in order once the 109 is out! As elevator getting too heavy was a limiting factor in dives. A weakness that some other aircraft could exploit.
  14. Same as used in British aircraft for decades. Hand lever plus bias via rudder deflection was standard up until pretty recently in the UK Thats the reason that the "brakes on" hand signal is open hand to clenched fist, and vice versa.
  15. Hot and Dry in that part of the world! Great weather for keeping machines in decent condition
  16. The reversal bug is THE biggest issue with the G940. It's supposed to be a feature to smooth out spiking pots. It ignores sudden changes in value. This means when you reverse control direction it "sticks" at the old value until a threshold is passed. At which point the new value takes over and you get a sudden control input. Makes small corrections nearly impossible on some axis as you get no response... no response... and suddenly too much as you cross the threshold. Latest firmware makes this threshold VERY small with X and Y (shouldn't be needed at all as X and Y are on a hall sensor!) so it's not noticeable on the stick itself. Unfortunately its still present on the other axis.
  17. The profiler software isn't THAT bad. It just needs each profile linked to the .exe of the game associated with it. So you may want to duplicate a small rarely used .exe a load of times so you can have multiple profiles for dcs. You can either link the profile to the exe so it loads the correct profile at game startup, or set the profile manually. Manual is the only option for DCS really as you want a profile per aircraft. Another minor issue with the profiler is that the mode switch tends to reset to 1 whenever you add a new command. So if you create the key command when you go to bind it it will usually need resetting again as it will have defaulted to mode 1. Ideally set up your commands 1st, then allocate them to buttons. Other things to consider: Update to the latest firmware for the stick. This eliminates the reversal bug on the X and Y axis. Set "hysteresis" options to minimum via "game controllers" "properties" in windows. This will minimise the reversal bug for the other axis. Finally to completely eliminate the reversal bug you will need to run the axis through a seperate USB controller board like one from Leo Bodnar. This is a relatively big job though requiring you to open up the rudder pedals and throttle and replace wires + extend them outside of the casings.
  18. Control mappings could do with some tweaking IMO too. Gear is just one example. The weapons selector rotary is another. Could really do with cycling control built in like I have set in my G940 programming sodtware for the gear.
  19. Its Soviet tech. It doesn't have to have a reason!
  20. My 1st guess would be nosecone switch. I'm always forgetting it!
  21. Another option if your stick supports it is programming one button for cycling key commands. 1st press of the button unlocks. Sexond retracts. Third sets to neutral. 4th locks
  22. Managed to watch it and it wasn't bad at all. Though they did seem to make out that the .50 shooting up a BMW was representative od what a Mk1 spit would do to a 109.... I was lucky enough to be at the ARC a week ago and a couple of times during the build of this spitfire. Got a decent look at it. They aren't exagerating when they say its probably the best in the world!
  23. Any news on Mig21 support Towsim?
  24. its an axis. So you have to set it in axis commands. Or you can use the programming software to assign key presses for various axis deflections
  25. Love the idea of warthog compatible stick and rudder sets! I have a few on my wishlist but probably not really possible.
